Oh good, he PM'd me the same exact thing he posted in the forum.  I wonder how many other people got it...

Aparently I haven't made myself clear. There's no need to hassle people, just ask. Ask, as in PM me and say, "hey man, can I get one of those invites?" :P

I sent you a PM for an invite to MySpleen. can't wait! :)

All caught up and I deleted a bunch of messages so my inbox doesnt get full again. Ill be around all week for those who need invites.

I'm pretty disappointed at the way many of the OT folks have mistreated their myspleen accounts. Many people have downloaded the Harmy and DarkJedi torrents and then immediately stopped seeding, forcing peers to wait longer for their downloads.

OT members on myspleen make up 43 of the top 50 worst sharers. Of the 400+ OT members I have invited to Myspleen 2/3 of them have God awful ratios and most of them have made no attempt to seed back anything at all. Obviously this stuff happens on public trackers like Pirate Bay or Demonoid but it's just not acceptable on private trackers. :(

Hit n' Runs are a slap in the face on torrent sites. Torrent sites don't keep the actual files on a server, everything is shared by our members. So when you download something and then walk away, you are hurting our community.

Myspleen is a very laid back site because our staff is very laid back. Other private trackers are very strict about ratios and hit n' runs and permanently ban people for not keeping a 1.0 ratio. Despite getting a lot of complaints about OT folks about abusing the sites goodwill I still want to avoid creating harsh rules and babysitting individuals (partially out of laziness).

I think part of this issue is my fault for handing out willy nilly invites without giving some basic guidelines. I'm sure many of you are new to torrenting so here's guidelines and tips.

Basic Guidelines:

- Anything you download should really be seeded until you have at least a ratio of 1.0+ for that torrent OR you have been seeding it for at least 72 hours. That's the minimum effort required to be an acceptable member.

- Don't delete your account unless you are sure you are never going use it again. Deleting your account and requesting a new invite later is ratio evasion and frowned upon in the torrent community. There's no reason for it and I've turned down several requests for a second account.

- Keep a good overall ratio or at least keep torrents seeded. I and other staff are less worried about your ratio when we can see that you are at least attempting to fix it. Don't be afraid to download a torrent that may hurt you ratio, just be willing to seed it so others can have access to it as well.

Tips to get your ratio up:

- Seed. Keeping your torrents seeded is the easiest and most obvious way to bring up your ratio. If no one is downloading from you because the torrent is old or unpopular just wait, someone will download it eventually.

-Take advantage of freeleech. Freeleech is when downloading will not count against your ratio (but upload still will). Myspleen has freeleech quite often. We have freeleech for holidays, special events, and sometimes just for the fun of it.

-Take advantage of torrents that have stars or clock icons. Starred torrents are freeleech for as long as they are starred (usually forever) and new torrents with stop watch icons are freeleech for the first week.

-Take advantage of Upload Multipliers. Each torrent has an Upload Multiplier which gives bonus upload depending on how old the torrent is (some of the oldest torrents have multipliers above 12x). The multiplier number is multiplied by the amount of upload and added to your stats.
So 5GB uploaded on a torrent with a upload multiplier of 2 will give you 10GB towards your ratio.

- Check out the Home page from time to time for news and updates. Sometimes we have contests for prizes and I'll soon be putting up some opportunities for upload prizes.

If there are any questions, comments, or complaints I'd love to hear them. :)

Myspleen has freeleech and open registration until January 2, 2013 at Midnight GMT. Take advantage!
